Now why would you think that? It worries me a great deal as do many other issues but whether you, I or anyone else here likes the reality or not is irrelevant. BTW it may have escaped you but HMG has done quite a few things itself based on wrong/false/sexed-up/invented information - the Iraq war being just one example - so those whose views you dismiss as being incorrect are in good company. Also, to be fair to the periodicals you mention, maybe they would have more chance of telling the truth if our leaders managed to obtain and provide credible information in the first place. It's that central failing which is the cause of so much strife here. That's only my opinion of course......
